Abstract:
A optical fiber, for example a Dispersion Compensation (DC) fiber, for compensating dispersion of a transmission fiber (such as a NZDSF) and transmission line including same. The fiber has a refractive index profile having a first moat with a negative delta (Delta2), and a second moat with a negative delta (Delta4) wherein the fiber exhibits a negative total dispersion at 1550 nm, and kappa at 1550 nm of less than 75 nm. The DC fiber, when used in a transmission line, may provide low residual dispersion across the C band when such lines include transmission fibers with total dispersion between 2 and 6 ps/nm/km and dispersion slope less than 0.092 ps/nm /km at 1550 nm.
Abstract:
A higher order mode stripping optical fiber having a core surrounded and a cladding layer surrounded by a coupling coating having a higher refractive index than the higher order mode effective index and wherein the cladding-coating interface between the cladding and the coupling coating is located at a radius 1500 nm. Such fibers are particularly effective at attenuating unwanted higher order modes and are useful in Dispersion Compensating modules (DCM's). Modules and systems utilizing the higher order mode stripping fiber are also described.
